The naked racism of flagging “foreign-sounding names” as likely illegal voters literally made my jaw drop. Really nothing should surprise me at this point, but here we are.

I can’t imagine any other field of consequence in which the average person would want the least experienced person to do the job (“Hey, I’d rather not have the surgeon with 20 years experience, thanks. I’ll take the guy who’s still in medical school because he hasn’t lost any patients yet, amirite? LOL.”) It’s a…
I will also say that I find these serial or episodic responses like Code 45, the UK update, and the one on Kotaku’s Nerd Love to be deeply irritating. I think they monopolize space and it’s almost always dudes who do it, and it just bugs the bejesus out of me. I know, I know, Gawker, Univision, Kinja is different now,…
It’s not the fault of farmers for those issues, but due to corporations and their meddling as well as a healthy dose of systemic racism.
It was the WINTER Olympics. You know, the Kia of sporting events. Gotta find something to hope for no matter how silly it is.
I mean excuse the fuck outta me for not wanting to chime in on the work that a woman who very publicly suffered a mental breakdown may or may not have had. I’m way out of line here, I realize that now.
I don’t think it’s “semantic.” I think it’s a crucial distinction. I still don’t agree with the protest, but the accusation reported here was that the service was bad because it was rape, and that’s not the protesters’ accusation.
It’s like commenting on an article about fast food workers wanting higher wages and talking about how they’re contributing to the obesity crisis/heart disease and their culpability needs to be dealt with. Irrelevant.
This is honestly the most bizarre argument to me - you can see my answer up-thread because this reply is just going to be more of the same, but why should sex workers/strippers be responsible for, or care about, their client’s relationship status?? Strippers aren’t stripping because they want to wreck homes, they’re…
Your relationship being disrespected (‘Wah! Jolene didn’t even check to see whether or not Bae had a dissaproving Mrs. at home before baring her bosom and spinning on the pole!) is not the same as someone else’s humanity being disrespected, love.
It’s not the responsibility of businesses to reinforce whatever personal morality you and your man have established for your relationship. The world does not revolve around you and your romance. Not all strippers sleep with their clients, but if your mate cheats on you- be it with a stripper, a co-worker, an ex, a…
“Did I hurt your feelings?” So now you’re playing the alt-right’s “Feeling triggered” card because feminists are calling you out for being problematic and narcissistic. Typical.
Who said they’re victims? They are people working at a job, and they have the right to advocate for fair terms and treatment at their job, just like any other worker. How is showing up to work everyday being a hustler?
“MAYBE if your husband is visiting strippers it’s because he’s, oh I don’t know, searching for something he isn’t finding at home?”
Way to make this issue of working women who just want to be treated with basic dignity and workplace equity all about you, your prejudice, and your insecurities. You can fuck right off with this attitude.
I firmly disagree.
I mean...why should they care? What does that have to do with them? They offer a service, and people walk into a club looking to buy that service. What should they do instead, screen men at the door and insist they somehow prove that they’re single? If a man in an exclusive relationship decides to see a stripper…
If men who cheat go to the store to buy condoms, do you blame the clerk, too?
So, the person who actively made the choice to go into the strip club, rather than the person just doing their job (part of which is NOT asking if someone is married), is at fault for this behavior?
For the sake of the argument though, sex workers are at work. Why should they, all other things being equal, turn down pay because an attached man who, according to the terms of *his* relationship, shouldn’t be making use of their services but is anyway? Why would a sex worker be interested in their client’s…
